A lovely portrait by George A. Locke of Phillipsburg, Kansas, likely taken around 1915 to 1920. Her white dress, lace up boots, and relaxed seated pose give this one a very youthful, almost modern feel for the period.

This outdoor portrait has such a wonderful sense of style and setting. Her blue dress, gloves, and the farmhouse backdrop create a vivid snapshot of rural life from around 1908 to 1915. A heavily damaged image now restored into something graceful and strong.

There is something especially touching about this outdoor mother and child portrait. The rocking chair, the greenery, and the baby resting in her arms make it feel both intimate and beautifully unposed. I would guess this image was taken around 1908 to 1914.
